Pharmacy in the Riedhaus

During your travel in the vicinity you have a cold or flue? Then go to this pharmacy, which is located within this beautifully restored timber frame house called "Riedhaus".

It was built in 1800 by Andreas H. Ockios and Elisabeda Molin as can be read on one of the corner timber posts.

Centrally located stands a school dedicated to the most famous daughter of Meißenheim, the Friederike-Brion-School.

It is a so called "Grund- und Hauptschule", which means that pupils are educated here until the 9th year. If they want to continue their secondary education they have to move to another school.

"Gasthaus Sonne" means "Restaurant Sun".

It is an old but very beautiful timber frame house. Unfortunate that it is not a "Gasthaus" anymore. So if you are looking for a business idea ... ;)

Gravestone from 1624

Right beside the graves of Friederike Brion and her sister and brother-in-law stands another much older but very well preserved gravestone.

As written it was dedicated to Maria Eusebia Wurms who died on 5 November 1624.

On the backside of the protestant church is the grave of Friederike Brion, the love of Johann Wolfgang Goethe at the time when he was a law student in Strasbourg.

Right beside her grave is the grave of her sister Maria Salome Marx (1749-1807) and her brother-in-law Weil M. Marx (-1819), in whose house Friederike was living until her death.

The protestant church of Meissenheim was built in 1766 by Joseph Michael Schnöller in the Baroque style.

It is famous for the organ also from 1766 built by Joh. Andreas SILBERMANN from Strasbourg and concerts are held from time to time.

On the backside of the church is the grave of Friederike Brion, the love of Johann Wolfgang Goethe at the time when he was a law student in Strasbourg.
